STATE NEWS.

Bishop Galloway, of Missouri, on Sun
dav dedicated the West End Methodist
Church at Durham This church was
built mainly by the Duke family.
Says the Raleigh correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch. The information
given the Dispatch, to the effect that the
farmers are titEAeason making the great
est possible efforts to improve their lands,
is confirmed in sll dir ct ois. The sta, O.
ment may be broadly made that the pre-
paration of land and the care taken in
putting in crops this season have never
been equalled. AS some letters put it,
"The farmers are working harder than /
ever saw them. They are in earnest this
time" Tile recent strike here may
delay the completion of the water-works
somewhat. The date fixed was June 1st,
but the real date may be June l5th.-
There has been very little talk in the
ps st few days about the matter of drum
mers' license. Not great number have
been issued the present month, but they
are issued regularly and without any
hitch. As yet no test case has been made
Supreme Court to-day took
up the calendar of cases from the
Eleventh District This is the last OF
the districts. Next week cases at the
end OF the docket will be called.

A Tale Of Restitution,

At one of his Mortified meetings re-
Gently Mr.. Moody, who was preaching
about Prayer" said: "Man may pray
like a saint, but if he has a dollar in his
pocket not acquired honestly his prayer
is a sham, and he must make restitution
if he expects ever to have God hear his
prayer" Thereupon a merchant from
Dallas. Tex, rose in the audience and
told a story that emphasized this point.
He had, he said, got dishonesty from
men in his business some S., 500, and
had built a house with the money. Then
MIR. Moody happened along and preached
On this subject of resolutions and the
merchant was present. II heard you"
he said, pointing to Mr.. Moody, land I
went out into the street conscience
stricken. I went straight home and told
my wife that we must sell that house
and restore the money. And we did.
We held an auction, and our carpets, our
laces, u furniture all left us, and with
the proceeds we made restitution" The
man then told how he and his wife
started again in life with nothing, and
how he had prospered. His credit, his
prosperity had never been so good.

PRINCE KNA

We were discussing dogs snsf Taagir in
stinct and intelligence, Y Dag sS2sapt.
Clark, a native of Illinois, hnsslRfed aalssin-
cident that will bear rebsating to &c
general public. ii
About ten years ago tbi Captain pub:
chased some land on thff9e55south brand
of the big Wichita River, Texas, and \
few months latefswent out to make ar
rangements for establishing a ranch. He
took with him a large shepherd dog of
great natural intelligence. From Fort
Worth he journeyed to within twenty
Eve miles of his destination by rail. AT
the fdft he hired a horse for a week, got
his directions about the roads, and set
off an good spirits. 1t was lovely
weather and a bracing atmosphere, and
the Captain was jolly enough until, after
the first five miles had been covered he
noticed that Prince" the dog, was act
ing in a very queer manner. Three diff
ferent times the dog headed the horse
as il to turn him back, and when this
did not avail he sat down in the road
and hoWled in the most dismal manner.
The Captain got, down to look him over,
but could find nothing wrong. The dog
would look up at him and whine and
bark and run back towardth the town, and
when his masteQ refused to follow him
he again set up a lamentable bowling.
No such conduct had ever been noticed
in him before, and the Captain finally
concluded that the dog "a ssof' on ac-.
count of the change of climate. He
left the town at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, calculating to stop over night at
q ranch eighteen miles distant, and, ar
ter wasting a quarter of an hour with.
the dog, he remounted and rode on.
Prince howlcd louder than ever, and by
and BY followed on, but with his tail
and ears down, as if in great trouble.
Two things happened to prevent tn
Captain from reaching the ranch as he
had planned. A thunderstorm drove
him to the shelter Of a grove for an hour,
and in pursuing his journey again he got
among the cattle trails and lost his way.
The dog kept up his strange conduct
and once o.. twice the captain was on
the point Of shooting him, believing that
be had gone mad, 1t was q o'clock in
the evening with another storm threat-
ening, when the horseman drew up at a.

Daniel Rogers, a miner near Orc, Ari-

wrist by a premature discharge Of giant
powder recently. He was alone, and he
walked two milesseaa deserted cabin,
where he bound up She stumps of his
wrists after a fashion with pieces of a
curtain, which he tore with his teeth.
He travelled all night, during which
time his trousers became loose and
dropped around his feet. He kicked
off his shoes and the trousers, and at 6
o'clock was found lying unconscious near
a Mexican cabin. He was taken to a

Gh0StLn York of Art.

In the Pitt palace, at Florence, is a
table which for originality in the matter
of construction and ghastliness in CON.
ception is probably without a rival. It
wassamade by Giuseppe sagatti, who
passed several years of his life in its
manufacture. To the casual observer it
gives the impression of a curious mosaic
of marbles Of different shades and col
ors, for it looks like polished stone. In
reality it is composed of human muscles
and yiscera. No less than a hundred
bodies were requisitioned for the mate
Hal. The table is round and about q
yard in diameter, with a pedestal aud
four claw feet, the whole being formed
of petrified human remains. The orna-
ments of the pedestal are made from the
intestines, the claws, with hearts, lie
ers, and lungs, the natural color of
which is preserved. The tabletop is
constructed of muscles artistically ar
ranged, and it is bordered with upward
Of q hundred eyes, the effect of which
is said to be highly artistic, since they
retain all their ~lustre, and seem to follow
the observer. sagatti died about fifty
years ago. He obtained his bodies from
the hospitals and indurated them by i'm
~pregnation with mineral salts. -TMedical

The Range Journal reports that the
historic cattle trail is already a thing of
the past, the end having come sepner
than was expected. The cattle that
were sent North this year have not
found q market, and several herds
actually march back toward the Pan
Handle of Texas. This marks the be-
ginning of a new order of things, but it
may prove to be of real benefit to the
interests that now seem to be most in
jured by it. Next year Texas will have
an outlet by rail to all the great North
west. The cattle can be moved that
way without any particular skill on the
part Of cowboys, and the market is
likely to be a much more even and regu-
lar one, In consequence Of the greater
steadiness of supply. 1t would proba-
bly, be still moro steady, as well as more
profitable to the sellers, if they could
agree to sell at home and let buyers
come after their property, instead of
sending it to be forced for sale on a glut
of offerings.

Tune of american Beauty.

When the people of the United States
shall be deprived of the constant inf1u1
of foreign blood from Europe, tn m will
finally develope into a fixed and regular
American type. This popularity viii
have as it's distinguishing characteristic:
slenderness of form, disposition to great
muscular activity, extreme nervous sen
~sitiveness, remarkable quickness of in.
tellectual apprehension and a genera
| alcrtness.
These are to a great extent the
characteristics of the American Indians,
and when the white race shall become
thoroughly localized in North America
it will conform to the type of the Indians
in their chief physical qualities. That
the whites who have been in America
for a few generations have. alresdy be-
gun to assume the Indian type of bodily
configuration has repeatedly been recog-
nized and declared by competent rhysi,
ologists and anatomists. The artists,
who are ever alive to the peculiarities of
form, have not failed to notice that a
certain slenderness of figure has become
so far characteristic of the Americans
that it has never been omitted in any
pictorial representations, and the typical
Yankee of the caricaturist, as we'll as the
typical Southerner, is always shown as a
tall, slender, muscular, ervou person
age. 1t may not be out of. place to add
to the testimony of the psychologist and
the artist on these points that of the
commercial man, which is fully cor
roborative of their observation. An i'm
porter of French and German gloves
said to the writer that such articles in
tended for the American trade had to be
manufactured expressly because the
hands of the Americans are longer in
proportion to breadth than those of the
typical French and German people, and
the fingers as a rule are longer and more
slender.
Enough has been said to show that
there will one day be a characteristic
type of form for the American people,
and that there will in consequence be a
type of American beauty. Already the
American women are being recognized
rs the most beautiful in the world. The
u%ncrowned queens and untitled princesses
from the United States are by the force
of their charms rapidly winning titles
and social supremacy among the old
world aristocracy. But the American
women are only in the infancy of their
reign in the realms of beauty. They arc
to have their charms recognized through
out the civilized wqsId as the queen of
%loveliness, and what the Egyptian
women were to the world for many
centuries 2, 900 to 5000 years ago the
American women will be in the future.

Who is the king in this beautiful land,
In this beautiful land Of the palm an,

With its valleys green and it's mountain
grand,
With its oil and corn and wine:
With it's mines of silver and gold, it's gems.
Fit for the kingliest diadems;
With it's cities fair and its prairies free,
Stretching from sea- to sea,
Who wears the sign, on his brow and hand
OF king in this beautiful land?
Is it he who holds in his hands the keys
Of the vaults where the gold and. silver
hide?
Whose great white ships on the mighty sea.
Laden with treasures ride2
Is it he who looks to the east and west,
And sees, wherever his glances rest,
His own green vines, his fertile fields,
With their ever-bountiful yieldss
Does he wear the seal and sign
OF king by a right divine?
Is it he whose need of a noble fame
Is won on the terrible fields of war;:
Whom the nations hail with a loud acclaim
As hero and conquerora
Or is it he who in patience delves
For the wisdom stored on the centuries
shelves?
Who seeks with a masters eye to scan
The secrets hidden in natures plan?
Shall we crown the scholar with one accord,
Or him of the conquering swords
Is it that one who sings wonderful songs,
Whose lips are touched with the altar fire3
Who sways the heart of the listening throng
AS the wind the chorded Tyres
Is it he who carves from the marble white
His W great thought for the worlds de-
lighta
Is it he who paints in colors rare
AS those that his own dream-pictures wear?
Shall artist or poet for their renown
Wear the scepter and the crowns
Though the poet his truest song shall sing,
Though the drums of fame for the soldier
beat,
Though the scholar his truest lore shall bring
And lay at a glad worlds feet,
Though the picture glow and the marble
CLEAN,
With the beauty born of the artists dream
Though the landed lord in his hand shall hold
Treasures of silver and finest gold,
Though crowned with honors fair and fit,
None of these on the throne shall sit.
Is there then no one in this beautiful land,
This fairest land on the great round globe,
To wear the ring on his royal hands
70 wear the purple robeF.
From the east and the west a voice m
forth,
From the smiling south, from the icy north,
From the sounding sea, from the heights Sc
rene,
From the valleys that lie between,
We hear it echo and surge and sing,
Aye, the MAN is the king.
The leaf of laurel that genius wears,
The soldiers fame or the learned degrees
That the scholar wins, 10, the voice de-
clares,
That the MAN is more thin these.
He stands in a realm as higA, and broad
As the heart of nature, the tEath of God,
The realm of manhood. and who can reign
Asa ruler wise in that vast DOMAINE
He needs no purple, no robe, no ring,
For he is a twiee-crowned king
In this beautiful land of the free.
A king is he.
